Pecorino is a traditional, rediscovered white wine variety from central Italy that is synonymous with aromatic, fresh and mineral wines. It is an excellent example of the renaissance of indigenous grape varieties in Italy and is becoming increasingly popular with wine lovers - both in Italy and internationally.
Originally native to the regions of Marche, Abruzzo, Lazio and Umbria, Pecorino was almost extinct. As recently as the 1990s, the total area under cultivation in Italy had shrunk to a meagre 213 hectares. The tide has turned with the trend towards typical regional wines with a strong character: Today, Pecorino is making a strong comeback - and rightly so!
Sein Name leitet sich vom italienischen pecora (Schaf) ab – eine Anspielung darauf, dass Hirten und ihre Tiere sich an den früh reifenden, süßen Trauben auf ihren Weidewegen bedienten.
The Civitas Pecorino from the Lunaria series by Cantina Orsonga is a Demeter-certified wine that combines flavour, freshness and acidity wonderfully. The aroma of apples and herbs alone is a delight. The wine is an excellent accompaniment to classic Italian antipasti specialities. But also delicious with light grilled specialities such as grilled sheep's cheese.
